CT: Hartford County- Granby Open Farms Day

On September 18, 2021 there was an open Farms day in Granby which fostered a day of patronizing the local growers of the area. They had a detailed map and calendar of the day events and while it was my first time, my understanding is that this is an annual event. Nice environment with decentContinue reading “CT: Hartford County- Granby Open Farms Day”

CT: New Haven County- East Haven- Farms River (Sunset Paddle)

A sunset paddle that took a little work but was well worth it! First shot is a panoramic shot.

Inspiration: Framed

My joy of taking photos originated from my father. He loved gadgets and had all the camera equipment available in the 60s when I was born – he took movies, slides, had projectors and screens and lugged it around everywhere waiting for the opportunity to arise. When you enjoy photography it takes focus, attention andContinue reading “Inspiration: Framed”

CT: Fairfield County- Darien- Pear Tree Point (Driveup Sunset)

Post Labor Day is the start of my “sunset season” as areas previously available to residents only are now available to all!

As I watched people leave the lot in discouragement, I decided to sit andContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Darien- Pear Tree Point (Driveup Sunset)”

CT: Litchfield- White Memorial- Bantam River (Kayaking)

I started kayaking in 2020 during the COVID pandemic. Bantam River was one of the first places I paddled. I park at Whites Wood Road to put in. Normally I go left into Bantam Lake.

CT- Litchfield County- Mount Tom State Park

Have only a quick minute? Is it a clear day? The hike up tower trail is only a 1.3 mile loop to a cool tower with steep stairs and a 360 view. An effort was made to clear trees to improve this view which I’m told is a must in the Fall! The route downContinue reading “CT- Litchfield County- Mount Tom State Park”

CT: New Haven County- Milford-Silver Sands

Silver Sands is a Connecticut State Park and one of a few in my top 5 based on the variety it offers. On this day, I was going to turn in my good camera into Milford Photo so found myself nearby on a beautiful last Friday of summer day. With only cell phone in hand,Continue reading “CT: New Haven County- Milford-Silver Sands”
